Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 potatoes russet
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 bell pepper green, diced
  • 2 tomatoes Roma, diced
  • 1 Cup spinach fresh, chopped
  • 1/2 Cup ham diced
  • 2 Cups cheddar cheese shredded
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/4 Cup heavy cream
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F. Pierce potatoes with a fork all over. Brush with olive oil and season with a pinch each of salt and pepper.
  • Wrap in foil and place into the air fryer. Cook for 40 minutes. 
  • Remove potatoes from the air fryer and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and use a melon baller, scoop or spoon to remove the inside into a large mixing bowl leaving ¼-inch around the edges and bottom so as not to make a hole in the potato skin.
  • Add diced green bell pepper, tomatoes, spinach, ham, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, a pinch each of salt and pepper, the eggs, and cream to the bowl with the potato filling. Mix well to combine. 
  • Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F for 5 minutes 
  • Scoop the mixture back into the potatoes and top with cheese. 
  • Place potatoes back into the air fryer basket and cook for 15 minutes.  
  • Serve hot.

Notes

Cool before scooping: Let potatoes rest for easier handling and cleaner edges.
Keep the shells intact: Scoop carefully to avoid tearing the skin.
Don’t overfill: Prevent mess by keeping the mixture level with the top of the shell.
